Freddie Kraft, spotter for Bubba Wallace, joined the show right before the season began to share what his offseason was like and what his spotting plans are for the 2021 season. Kraft explains his relationship with Wallace; how drivers go through vetting spotters; a season he dreaded with Greg Biffle; knowing the drivers he won’t work with; defending the driver you’re working with; being both cheerleader and critic for your driver; the overlooked importance of a spotter; some details on where Kraft came from and how he got here; if there was doubt about staying paired with Bubba this season; what he sees being built at 23XI; the adjustment in his spotting with the expectation of running up front more this season; fans wanting him to be a full-time co-host on Door Bumper Clear; knowing what is and isn’t acceptable on DBC; if it has affected his relationship with NASCAR officials; how much of the overall race Kraft sees and reviewing them for the podcast; the maddest Kraft has been on the roof; needing time to decompress after races; his view on helping other spotters; preparing to spot at new venues this season and what he’s excited for; thoughts on grassroots racing; what he is looking forward to in ’21; one last spotter story.
